Chapter Ninety-Five: Does Happiness Belong to Li Shaofen?

  The autumn weather was like an old mother who was always ready to remarry, and soon after Zhou Yi and Zhu Xiaohua returned to the cave, a gentle rain started outside; they thought it would be just a brief shower in the mountains, but unexpectedly, the Dragon King had gone mad, and the rain grew heavier and heavier. Looking around, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of rolling silver waves between heaven and earth, and after gazing for a while, one couldn't help but feel as if the boundaries between heaven and earth were blurred, and they were floating in the Milky Way. The water vapor rushing towards them filled the entire cave in an instant.

  This group of men and women from the city, unaware of the terror of mountain floods, instead became excited, one by one leaning out of the cave entrance to look out, occasionally letting out a shrill cry, that was when they were splashed with rainwater coming straight at them, wetting their hair and clothes; They didn't mind either, but instead laughed heartily and openly, as if feeling honored to be in such close contact with nature, the steel and concrete constructed closed city, turned this group of 'city people' who are envied by country folk into a bunch of bumpkins...

  Zhou Yi noticed that Li Shaofen's expression was somewhat unnatural, so he handed over the quickly roasted wild yam: "Eat some, this thing can soothe the liver and calm the mind, making people calm and peaceful... Don't worry, it's not a mountainous area here, generally there won't be a flash flood, instead of worrying, why not calm down and appreciate the beauty of the rain? Such a big rain in the city is hard to come by, if Old Four were here, he would probably compose a poem on the spot."

  Lao Si Du Guoqing is the most poetical of the brothers, having been a member of the literature club in college and frequently submitting manuscripts to various literary magazines and publishing houses, only to be rejected time and again. Back then, the brothers would often tease him for being out of touch with the times, guessing that after graduation he'd either become a famous doctor or land an editing job at a publishing house. But little did they know, this guy's poetical heart is even more unpredictable than a young girl's, as after completing his internship at the hospital, he went on to start his own business...

  These years, several brothers have been in contact with each other, but he has little contact with his brothers, and their relationship has become somewhat estranged. As soon as Zhu Xiaohua mentions him, she says with a sigh, "Since ancient times, those who are thin and lucky are all bookworms!" It's like a resentful prostitute, every time this happens, Zhou Yi will laugh and kick him: "Or I'll get you a treasure chest, and you can hug it and go to the Angry River?"

  Li Shaofen's face turned slightly red as she took a small bite of the fragrant wild mountain herb, her eyes shining brightly as she said: "It's really delicious..."

  "It's delicious, so eat more of it, it's good for you." Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Zuo Zhu, who was crowded together with Zhu Xiaohua and the others, but had left Li Shaofen alone on this side without taking care of her. He felt even more puzzled in his heart, but didn't say anything, just calling them over to eat the freshly cooked mountain treasure congee and roasted sweet potatoes and yams.

  A bowl of warm and fragrant mountain delicacy porridge was eaten, followed by two roasted sweet potatoes and wild yams. Everyone ate until their bellies were round and full, with a sense of satisfaction in their stomachs, and their spirits lifted even more. They continued to make merry until after 10 o'clock at night, before one by one crawling into their sleeping bags and entering the land of dreams...

  Although Zhou Yi's body was strong, he wasn't the kind of immortal cultivator in fantasy novels who could go for days without sleep or rest. During this period of seclusion in the mountains, his mind was calm and peaceful, and he fell asleep even faster than Zhu Xiaohua. However, his breathing was extremely fine, and his breaths were long and steady, unlike Guan Wei's loud snores that shook the heavens. This was a benefit of his recent practice of the Zi Wu Zhuan technique. Now, if he held his breath, he could last around fifteen minutes underwater, which already had a hint of superhuman ability.

  At midnight 12 o'clock, Zhou Yi was awakened by his biological clock. This is the time he gets up every day, rain or shine.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhou Yi was about to crawl out of the sleeping bag. His gaze inadvertently swept towards the entrance of the cave and he was shocked to shiver.

  "My god, this is scary! Who is this?"

  A slender figure is standing at the entrance, cowboy jeans, a leather jacket that just reaches the waist, long hair like lacquer, shoulders like a precipice...

  Isn't this Old Wu's daughter-in-law, a noble lady? When did she run out of her sleeping bag, what is she going to do now?

  The I Ching gave a sudden shock, and a chill ran from the bottom of his heart. This was not fear, but worry.

  No, could she have fallen ill? Outside the cave was a torrential downpour, and just a few steps out of the cave would be a steep cliff...

  Zhou Yi didn't dare think about it anymore and was about to quickly get out of his sleeping bag.

  His speed was fast, but he wasn't a top martial artist or an immortal who could release flying swords, and being tied up in a sleeping bag made him unable to exert himself!

  "Crack!"

  The heavens also came to make trouble at this time, a whole night without thunder, but now suddenly a burst of autumn thunder rang out, and the snow-white lightning illuminated the sky in an instant, illuminating the cave inside with clarity.

  "Shaofen, what are you doing!"

  Zhu Xiaohua and the others were all startled awake by this thunder, Zuo Zhu saw Li Shaofen's appearance, was so shocked that his hair stood on end, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't open the sleeping bag.

  Li Shaofen suddenly turned around, her face pale, and smiled lightly at the crowd. She then turned around and rushed out of the cave, shouting: "Dandan, Dandan... I've come to find you..."

  "Dandan? Sounds like a woman's name, what is her relationship with him?" Zhou Yi couldn't care less about opening his sleeping bag anymore, he used both arms to push himself up and burst out of the sleeping bag, his body sprang up and he was about to rush towards Li Shaofen.

  Ke Li Shaofen's one foot was now suspended in mid-air, and it seemed that it would fall into the deep valley below at any moment.

  "Jump? You jump! Zhao Cang jumped down, Tang Ka jumped down, didn't Heng Lu also jump down......"

  At this moment, Zhou Yi was still more than 20 meters away from her. Even if he ran at a speed seven times that of an ordinary person, it would take him one to two seconds (Bolt's acceleration time is 1.74 seconds for 10 meters). But Li Shaofen only needed 0.1 seconds to jump down, and even if Zhou Yi hurried over, he wouldn't make it in time. In desperation, Zhou Yi could only blurt out a movie line: "A dead horse can be used as a living horse doctor", and even if he managed to gain one or two seconds, he might have been able to rush to Li Shaofen's side!

  The I Ching relies on one's own medical knowledge. When a person suddenly hears an extremely unusual and out-of-place phrase in a certain environment, whether they like it or not, their brain will react instinctively. And this instantaneous reaction may help save Li Shaofen's life!

  As expected, Li Shaofen was stunned for a moment, and a curious expression flashed across her pretty face. However, this expression vanished in an instant, and she still smiled, lightly taking that step which could have made her infatuated.

  "No!"

  Zhu Xiaohua and the others rushed frantically towards the entrance of the cave, 'Flower' and Song Hong's hair was disheveled, their eyes wide with fear.

  The left pillar seemed to have its backbone suddenly pulled out, and it sat on the ground with a thud. Its mouth was muttering: "Dandan, I'm sorry! I didn't take good care of Shaofen for you... nor did I help her find her own happiness... I'm sorry..."

  "Brush!"

  Zhu Xiaohua had just taken two steps forward when Zhou Yi suddenly sprang into action, transforming into a superman in an instant and rushing towards the cliff edge with a speed that would have made Bolt's jaw drop.

  Unfortunately, still half a step away!

  Li Shaofen had fallen like a withered flower or a broken leaf, drifting down into the deep valley below.

  Boom!

  Jade Easy's eyes were wide with rage, almost bulging out of their sockets. He let out a loud roar and stomped his foot on the edge of the cliff, causing his body to shoot towards Li Shaofen like an arrow leaving its bowstring.

  "Hmm... "

  A golden shadow closely followed Zhou Yi and jumped off the cliff, surprisingly it was Jinyangyang. At a critical moment, Comrade Jinyangyang showed a great fearless spirit of revolution, perfectly interpreting the good nature of a 'loyal pig'. At this moment, Jinyangyang is not just a pig fighting! It represents all the fighting pigs in the world!

  "I Ching! No way......"

  Seeing the two people and a pig fall off the cliff, Zhu Xiaohua's legs softened, and they all sat on the ground, everyone feeling dizzy: "This is impossible, this is not true, how can a good outing turn out like this... This must be a dream, definitely a dream!"

  Unfortunately, they all knew very well that this was not a dream, but a cruel reality.

  "I Ching! Li Shaofen......"

  On top of Wangqi Peak, people's hoarse shouts echoed, but unfortunately, there was no response from the valley for a long time...
